ull-time college student Donnetta Foster, 20, was using a computer to prepare for a job interview at the Decatur Library in Georgia, when her baby allegedly laughed too loudly at a flash card. Things weren’t so funny after that.Foster says she tried to quiet her son, but security guards told her to leave and the librarian shut down her computer. After she refused to leave, the librarian called the police, and Foster "became irate yelling in a loud manner." After that, she was handcuffed and placed under arrest for disorderly conduct and could face up to a year in jail.
Today, Foster admits she got too emotional but that police overreacted (apparently six or seven police cars ultimately responded to the scene, according to Foster’s attorney).
Foster was out of control (and people go to libraries to be in relative silence), but she’s already spent two days in jail because of this incident!
- Do you think the library staff and the police overreacted?
- Should this mom have to serve jail time for her actions?
